NEWARK, o., Jan. l5-The reported rob-
berry of the Baltimore & Ohio safe Of $780,
600 worth Of diamonds and other valua-
blea at the Republic wreck is denied by
superindent Snyder, Of the Express Com
pany, who states that there was but little
lost from the safe Of the messenger.
It was admitted that some diamonds
and watch cases were missing, but that
their vslue was only about $500. The ar
ticles wore found in Columbus, where
they had been disposed OF by the robbers.
Theae belonged to Jcweler S.urdevant, OF
this city. It is declared, however, on what
seemS reliable authority, that d heavy
robbery was perpetrated over tho bodies
OF the burned victims, and that there is a
greater loss than will be admitted by the
authorities, .s4

Special Dispaich to he In,tllicacer. ifsHIi %,
WASHINGTON, y. O, Jan. 1O.-The Reg.
isttr fully sustained It's reputation for n
liability by publishing last Friday a spe.
cial dispatch from Washington charging
that Joseph NJ. Mccoy, OF Falrmont, q
clerk In the Ponslon office, Ia Repub.
lican. The fact Is that Mccoy Is an ada.
mantine Democrat, and son OF Hon
John W. Mccoy, a leading Democrat OF
Marion county. Mccoy is a Camden
hustler, and has held bis position under
two Republican administrations. His ap.
pointment WAS originally secured for him
by the then Congressman from the Sec.
ond district, Hon. B. F. Martin, and he
was afterwards held in place
through the influence OF mum.
bsr Of Republican personal friends
and Senator II. q. Davis. During
the time he held office under the Repub.
licans he voted the Democratic ticket at
every election, and attended Democratic
conventions with great regularity. He is
at present special examiner OF tho Pen.
sion office, and is temporarily detailed for
duty at Indianapolis. His promotion re.
ieItd to by the Register special, was from
II 200 to 81, 400 and not from $1,000 to
81 200, as stated. In addition 10 the above
salary be Is allowed, believe, 50 per day
Tor expenses. McOoy's case Is only one
Of the many where Democrats from West
Virginia held office under the Republican
administrations. Among othors were
Major Samuel symes, Of Greenbrier coun.

JUDGE HOLMAN'SyIENYs,

10 THINKS tho Republicans will Re:elect
Nr. Harrlson-aIr. Edmunl's Views,
WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-Judge Holman
arrived from indianapolis this morning,
somewhat disappointed at the failure Of
his own canvass for Senator. He was
warmly received In the House and made
very frequent explanations Of the situa,
ton. He hoped, he said, that Judge Tur-
pie would be made Senator, but thought
the chances were not very strongly in Ibis
favor. He believed that the Dem oora,s
would hold q joint session aud keep Meas
CHER With them to make quorum in spite
Of the Republicans action in unseaiins
him. The Republicans would then hold
another joint session, counting Meapher,
and elect Harrison. Harrison would get
q certificate from the Secretary OF State,
with the State sea-, and the Demo.
cratic candidate a certificate OF the
Democratic Governor. i Tho United
States Senate could not 90 behind these
records, and each would clearly show a
result different from the otuer., Tho ouly
thing by which they could make choice
would be by testing tho authority OF the
officers signing the records. In this the
Republicans would have an advantage
and the Senate would in all probability
admit Harrison to tho seat. The Re-
publican record will be signed by the
Speaker Of the House, over whose au.
thority there 10 no contest, and Mr..
Robertson, the newly elected Lieutenant
Governor. The Democratic record will
lack the signature Of tho Speaker, and will
be signed by Mr.. Smith, whose authority
Is in Question. l.. ]
Senator i imuuds haa been quoted al.
ready as saying that the action Of tho Re.
publicans was in accordance with the law,
and that Of the Democrats was revolution.
ary. This leaves little room to- doubt
that the Senate would recognize the cleo,

THE SAME OLD BOURBON.

Exulting over the temporary release of the
tally-sheet forgers, the Sentinel says '.It has
been the marked tendency of the Republican
party ever since its organization to obliterate
State lines and to centralize in the federal ex-
ecutive, legislature and Judiciary all govern
mental powers" This solemn warning Of po-
litical danger relates to the act of Congress
concerning election frauds, and the awful OBJ
liberation of State lines means the prosecution
of the tally-sheet forgers before a United
States commissioner. This sort Of talk repre-
sents what is left of the fine old Democratic
dogma of State sovereignty. 1t was good De-
mocracy before the war, and with the average
Bourbon organ that makes it good Democracy
now. To forget or to learn anything would
not be Democratic. A party that protested
against every act of the government during
the war as q violation Of the sacred doctrine
of State sovereignty is consistent in opposing
the enforcement of national election laws. The
Democratic party like one of its distinguished
Representatives, is still "the great obiector"
In twenty five years there has not been passed
a single act or measure designed to promote
the liberty and prosperity Of the country that
the Democracy have not trisen aid shouted,
81 object When the sacred dogma of State
sovereignty was not i'll danger it was some
thing else. They have always found ground
for nrotestinp aoainst nrooreas and rac;ct;, ~
the enforcement Of laws for the security Of
equal rights and honest elections. One of the
most valued articles in the Democratic creed
is the sacred right Of stuffing ballot
boxes and changing tally-sheets This
is one of the God given personal
rights that we read of in Democratic
platforms. Around it is drawn the awful cir
Gle of State sovereignty. The slightest move
ment to interfere with it ELECTS Democratic
protest, and if the movement is under ma
tonal law we are assured for the ten thousandth
time that our beautiful system of constitu-
tional checks and balances is about to be
smashed into smithereens. Perhaps it is too
much to expect the Democratic party to learn
anything in so short period as twenty-five
years, but it is to be hoped that the time will
come when it will recognize the fact that con
stitutional liberty does not rest solely on the
| right Of Democrats to split open ballot boxes
with Ratchet or to carry elections by forged
returns
